The 10-week summer program places science, engineering and mathematics students at media organizations throughout the U.S.  Fellows will use their academic training to research, write and report headlines, while sharpening their abilities to communicate complex scientific issues to the public.

Fellows work as journalists at media organizations such as National Public Radio, Los Angeles Times, WIRED, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and NOVA.
